Moot point - depends on what is considered a 'reasonable adjustment'. My
take is that 'if you can see it you should also le able to hear it and
if you cam hear it you should also be able to read it' is a reasonable
adjustment. Overcomplicating things does not assist but obscures.

Subject: Accessibility for Deaf/Dumb
Morning All,
A client of ours has suggested putting some sign language images on
their site that tells visitors to call a special phone line kitted out
for braille based phones.
My gut feeling is that this is taking things too far and anybody that
is deaf or dumb would be able to read normal text so the sign language
would be unnecessary.
Am I wrong?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Cheers,
